Wedding menu: how to build it
and what to ask at the tasting
The menu is what guests remember the next day. Here is how to build it balanced and what to test at the tasting.
Balance the dishes
Alternate heavy dishes with light ones and don't forget a good vegetarian option and a kids' menu. A varied menu pleases all generations.
Test at the tasting
At the tasting, don't just taste the flavor, but also how the plate looks and how warm the dish arrives at the table. Ask how it is served for your guest count.
A dish that's great at the tasting but hard to serve to 250 people is not the right choice.
Think about the pace
When the courses are served, how long the breaks last, when the cake is cut: the menu's pace keeps the party alive. A good chef helps you plan it.
